Whizzer opportunity to buy but how much to offer?

[Coffeeboss]

Have a direct line to purchase this bike and have yet to see it in person. My friend's father passed away and they are looking to sell the bike. I have no number or reference on the bike but know it's not going to be cheap. Any details, insights, thoughts or opinions are welcome here. Thank you

I see about $4K. My thinking is an easy $2K for the bike, and another $2K for the Whizzer. That's my guess.

I would tend to agree with John. The bike is beautiful. The Engine series looks like a "J" but without the numbers from the motor (near the drain plug) and a view of the other side, it is hard to tell what "extras" might be on the "Whizzer". My Phantom version with the original fringed saddle bags on a lessor Schwinn Build but with high fin head, tall breather and brass bowl Carter Carb sold for $4K a year ago. But it always comes down to who will pay what $$$$. Auction results will be higher for sure.

Thanks for the feedback and any thoughts on year and I will try and get photos of the numbers on the motor. Where would I find those?

Looks to be a quality machine. Good luck, I hope you get it.
